U.S. Gun Owners Outnumbered Hunters by 5 to 1 in 2011...the whole "no one needs an assault weapon to go hunting" is a straw man anyway - most people probably want assault weapons simply because they're the best available to fire and practive with - just like some people want Porsches to drive - you'll get there just as well in a VW, but it's more fun in a Porsche.......

According to a Gallup poll from October 2011, 47 percent of all Americans reported ownership of a gun in their home or on their property. Gallup estimated that 34 percent of Americans age 18 and over personally own a gun.

There are an estimated 315 million people in the US and 115 million households. Realizing the the 70-80 million number comes from the NRA -- only 70-80 gun owners still sounds low.

If you go down the path of the Second Amendment, it is geared towards a political right to be able to own weapons suitable for overthrowing the government if necessary.So if gun owners in the United States outnumbered hunters by 5 to 1 you can bet most are protecting house and home or protecting there 2nd Amendment rights.

I purchased it around 20 years ago. It came with 3 5 rounds magazines. At 200 meters, the range limit, I could consistently get it in the black. I've not fired it for several years though. It's Chinese but it is milled and the barrel is chrome lined.
